"It must be noted that much of this book is covered in some way by university-level computing degrees. Nonetheless, one tends to forget the principles and the algorithms themselves. One develops one's handful of favourites. This book helps one to keep playing with a full deck."
--Al Lukaszewski, About.com

"This book is a "keeper" - make room for it on your bookshelf as it's essential reading."
--Mike James, I Programmer

"Overall, this is a great book for developers looking for more tools in their arsenals. As you might suspect, this is not really a book to read cover to cover unless it's for a class. But it provides a clear and well laid out approach to some of the many algorithms that exist today in computer programming. It isn't an exhaustive list, but it certainly provides a great cross-section from which you could continue your search."
